Leng And Cates Chop Up Elezra's Chips

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Eli Elezra limped from the cutoff and Ryan Leng limped on the button. Dan Cates then raised from the small blind and both Elezra and Leng called.

All three players checked on the {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, but Cates bet on the {a-Hearts} turn and both Elezra and Leng called.

The {4-Hearts} completed the board and it was checked to Elezra, who bet. Leng and Cates both called.

Leng held {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the high and Cates had {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the low. Elezra mucked — leaving Leng and Cates to split the pot.
